The hull of Ke Kai slips away from the warm sand and the city’s last light as Waikiki’s skyline softens behind you. Salt spray lifts off Mamala Bay and Diamond Head sits like an old, steady witness to the westward drift of the sun. Guests settle along the rail, cocktails in hand, while the catamaran hums an easy rhythm across the water.
